Research Project Outline
Development of techniques for probing the lattice-electronic combined structural dynamics in nano-scale is essential to open new frontier of materials science. These technologies will realize new class of materials which shows highly sensitive photo-induced phase switching. Especially, dynamical X-ray structural science combined with domain observation by time-resolved PEEM will be powerful tool for promoting this new research field. We develop new light source for these probing technologies and an appearance of new field of materials science which can be named as 'nonequilibrium material science under critical condition', beyond the hitherto structural science.
